George Washington Good Quote

We are persuaded that good Christians will always be good citizens and that where righteousness prevails among individuals the Nation will be great and happy. Thus while just government protects all in their religious rights true religion affords to government its surest support.

I have no other view than to promote the public good and am unambitious of honors not founded in the approbation of my Country.

George Washington Experience Quote

Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.

Experience teaches us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possession.

We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors and for the purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience.

There can be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion which experience must cure which a just pride ought to discard.

George Washington Men Quote

Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder.

The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves.
